142961 ÷ 53 
We want to divide 142961 by 53.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 53, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 53

On to step 2:
14 divided by 53 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 142 / 53

Advancing to step 3:
142 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 106 from 142.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 53

On to step 4:
When dividing 369 by 53, we get 6 with a remainder of 51.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 318 from 369, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 516 / 53

On to step 5:
If we divide 516 by 53, we get 9 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtracting 477 from 516 leaves us with 39.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 391 / 53

Step 6:
53 goes into 391 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2697.0
Deduct 371 from 391 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 53, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2697.3
Subtracting 159 from 200 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 410 by 53, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2697.37
If we take 371 away from 410, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 390 by 53, we get 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2697.377
Subtracting 371 from 390 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2697.377, and the remainder is 0.0019.
